Very cool. Just imagine an entire nettop in that small unit!

However, this will take a long time to come out though. For starters, I wonder what was causing black lines to appear on the displayed surface.]]>Jun 10th 2010 12:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/You wouldn't see that black line in real life.

That was my reaction too.
At first sight it didnt look like much but this has lots of promise. Maybe when mobiles w/ projectors are pervasive.]]>Jun 10th 2010 2:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/

"The holographic environment is slowly coming to life".

What I meant was that this could be a big step towards making the holograms true.]]>Jun 10th 2010 9:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/Sorry, actually I was wrong. The definition of a hologram doesn't say anything about surfaces or not at all. I guess it could be projected on a wall. It "simply" has to be a direct projected replica of something real that you can look at or interact with as it was the original. ]]>Jun 10th 2010 10:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/Jun 10th 2010 9:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/Jun 10th 2010 9:16AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/Jun 10th 2010 9:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/Jun 10th 2010 9:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/10/liminar-robot-finally-shows-us-what-pico-projectors-were-meant-f/
